Practical Hydrogen Systems: An Experimenters Guide

The author of Build Your Own Fuel Cells, Build Your Own Solar Panel and Build a Solar Hydrogen Fuel Cell System shares the details of his high quality, self-pressurized stainless steel hydrogen generator, and offers valuable insight into components, subsystems and processes involved in the production of hydrogen.Hurley's innovative small scale system is designed for ease of fabrication and a minimum of components - in versatile modular configurations that make experimenting and customizing easy. This hydrogen-generating system features automatic pressure control, and the book includes complete schematics for the electronic/electromechanical process controller, as well as over 230 other illustrations. 305 pages.Topics covered include: Electrolyzer construction and designHydride storageCylinder hydrogenHydrogen leak detection and detectorsCatalytic recombinersHydrogen processing systemsFiltrationParts suppliers and resources for hydrogen system componentsFuel cell unitsHydrogen storageBubblers and scrubbingPressure vessels for hydrogen systemsTubing and fittings for hydrogen systemsElectrolytesNitrogen purging for hydrogen systemsHydrogen regulatorsMaterial compatability for hydrogen system componentsElectronic and electromechanical process controllers for hydrogen systemsMeters and pressure gauges for hydrogen process measurementPressure switches and level switches for electrolyzers and hydrogen storageIntrinsically safe systems for hydrogen productionPressurized safety systems for hydrogen process control equipment Read more
